Edible Excursions Video
When people think of San Francisco, they think about the food scene. The amazing restaurants, artisan bakers, chocolatiers, local farmers, traditional cuisines from all over the world, local growers -- you name it, we've got it. In some ways, it's hard to go wrong...but with so much to choose from, how do you make sure you're experiencing the best of the best? Well, that's where Edible Excursions comes in.
We're totally plugged into what's happening in San Francisco's food scene right now. And the best part is, we share it all in carefully curated, fun, food-centric walking tours.
From insider spots in Japantown to deep in the Mission, where traditional and trendy sit side-by side, Edible Excursions takes you where no other tour can. You'll meet actual owners, learn the stories behind their businesses and, of course, taste the dishes that have everyone buzzing. Our tours are constantly evolving, because in San Francisco, the food scene does, too.
San Francisco's Ferry Building. The Mission. Japantown. Berkeley. Marin. These are the places that have changed the way we eat today. Edible Excursions brings you to the heart of these neighborhoods and connects you with the people who feel most passionate about food as an experience and as a way to bring the community together.
Edible Excursions - Ferry Building SF
During our trip to San Francisco we had a chance to work with Edible Excursions, a food tour company based out of San Francisco! We went on the Ferry Building food tour and it was amazing. We had so many samples that we lost count! Please enjoy the video of our tour :). All the samples we got are listed below:
1. Frog Hollow Farm - Here we got a delicious full-sized apricot and cherry tart! They bake with the freshest fruit (they had a produce tent right outside for the farmer’s market) and the crust was flaky and so yummy. They were warmed up to perfection, a great way to start the tour.
2. Prather Ranch Meat Co - Joshua told us that this was his favorite chili, and no one can top it. We got a small cup of chili, with sour cream and cheese. It had the perfect amount of heat and top quality meat. Their meat is local, sustainable, and raised ethically so you can definitely taste the difference.
3. Recchiuti Confections - Here we tried a Fleur de sel chocolate piece. This is made of chocolate, sea salt, and caramel, all good reasons to spoil yourself. If you want something sweet and heavenly just in one bite, try some of the amazing handcrafted chocolate here.
4. Boccalone - Two words: meat cone. Yes, a paper cone stuffed with three types of salty smoked meat. It was presented so beautifully like a flower, I had to get a photo before eating it. Boccalone cold cures, meaning they use colder air during the drying process. They also use less salt. So their process takes time, but you can taste the difference.
5. Acme Bread - Finally we get to try the baguettes that Josh was holding throughout the whole tour. The bread was made to pull apart easily and pairs perfectly with some good cheese and wine.
6. Cowgirl Creamery - While tasting our bread, we paired it with award -winning cheese from Cowgirl Creamery right next door. The first one we tried was called Mt. Tam, their most popular cheese. It’s made with Straus Family organic milk, this tasted so creamy and buttery! The second one we tried was Red Hawk, a more pungent cheese with a smooth taste.
7. Miette Patisserie - There was a birthday girl on the tour, so Joshua surprised her with a cupcake from Miette Patisserie, such a cute little gift. Here we got to try a strawberry macaron with buttercream filling, so soft and perfect! They also sell a variety of sweets and cakes.
8. Dandelion Chocolates - Here we got to sample three different types of chocolate. Joshua had us do a blind taste test and guess the amount of cocoa and what the tasting hints were. We all pretty much failed at guessing, but it was interesting to know that it was all the same percentage. With tasting notes of fruits, tart yogurt, peaches and cream, brownies and toasted nuts, there’s something for every type of palette.
9. Out the Door - Super fresh Vietnamese food here! We sampled some shrimp spring rolls and dipped it into creamy peanut sauce. Don’t be afraid of the sauce, be generous and just slather it on! One of my favorite stops on the tour!
10. Humphry Slocombe - Of course we saved the best for last. ICE CREAM! Now, this ice cream stand is a little different, here they serve ice cream for adults! We got to sample all the flavors and then choose one scoop to enjoy. My favorites were the Secret Breakfast (bourbon + cereal) and Beer Goggles (tasted like a Guinness Float). They also had Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee flavor which was high on my list as well! If I could eat them all I could, they were all so good, it was hard to choose my scoop.

JAPANTOWN San Fran 2018 | CA VLOG #20
EP. 20
We arrived in San Francisco not knowing what to do. Yes, my boyfriend and I decided to take a day trip. Honestly, picking this location was better than we expected. We were papered for the weather, after searching the forecast online before leaving. The mall looked really cute with its Japanese décor. Each building was split into an east and west wing with a courtyard
The shops in Kintetsu Mall were cheap & expensive. A 50/50 to balance out the customers interest.
There are many shops that you can venture with a family, partner, friends, or yourself. I've seen clothing stores, a game arcade, jewelry store, a Nippon-Ya which is a Mochi store. A shop that sells regional Japanese confections, snacks, tea, wine & more. My boyfriend and I decided to buy 4 packs of Mochi boxes. Each cost $10.00 or $7.00 per package. If you are like me and love tasting different varieties of sweet food, then you most likely going to be picky as hell of being at a store for 30 minutes or 35 minutes, deciding if this is really worth it. lol You can either decided, yes I am so glad I took the time or...well, this isn't what I expected, I know next time what NOT to buy lol
Earlier of the day, we decide to get hungry so we look for a restaurant in the mall. I believe there is only two options of eating in a restaurant. Which is Japanese or Korean. We ate in a Japanese restaurant called Mifune Don, very small but the food was great. Anyway we loved it. If this seems like a good catch to visit here.

Inside San Francisco's Largest Indoor Marijuana Consumption Lounge
It's a lot easier to buy cannabis in California than it is to find a place to smoke it. Even though recreational marijuana is legal in the state, using it outdoors and in most public places is not. But not everywhere. Cheddar's Alyssa Julya Smith visits Moe Greens, the largest legal indoor consumption lounge in San Francisco, to find out more.
